Episode 7 McMafia

I want information on their personal

lives. How close he is to each

of them.

What kind of security does your

family have in place?

Probably not

enough.

I'm going to see if Mr Godman

can help.

I want to give you my notice.

Allon and I served in the IDF

together for many years.

Don't worry, Mr Godman.

We'll be armed.

Masha is pregnant

with Papa's child.

We'll give you £20,000 a month to

bring up your baby somewhere else.

Maybe you should move out for a

while.

What?

I broke up with my girlfriend to try

and protect her.

I am Sylvie and this is Alba.

What a beautiful name.

We should have a drink when my

nanny's back.

That would be lovely.

I need to check on Rebecca.

He knows there's a swimming pool in

her apartment block.

I never told him that.

They wanted information,

anything I could tell them.

I'm sure everything will be fine.

Better be. I'm pregnant.

She's in surgery.

This programme contains some scenes

which some viewers may find

upsetting.

I thought, if I hurt Vadim's

business...

..if I made him look bad in front of

his associates...

..then I could protect you.

Did Rebecca know?

No.

I protect my family!

Not you!

Please stop it!

Come.

No more business.

You'd broken up with your boyfriend

You'd broken up with your boyfriend

just before the attempt on your

life?

That's right.

I assume you're aware his family are

political exiles here?

That they had a history of

involvement with Russian crime

syndicates?

I was aware of it.

But that had nothing to do with

Alex.

And as far as you were aware,

his own business dealings were

completely legitimate?

Completely.

May I ask why you broke up?

Because I didn't love him any more.

Oleg!

Well, you know,

there are a lot of people back in

Russia who are really impressed with

what you've achieved.

To take on a man like Vadim using a

small bank in

the centre of London,

that requires intelligence.

Not very intelligent to put myself

and my family in this position.

Vadim obviously has very influential

friends but he also has his critics,

especially now,

when his profits don't exactly match

the inconvenience they cause.

Despite what people think, we do not

want any problems with the British.

In a world without conflicts...

..we don't profit.

Don't you think so?

I agree.

I know your father.

I'll try to help you make peace with

Vadim.

I'll talk to my friends in Moscow.

I can't promise you anything,

but one thing is certain.

No-one's happy to see anti-Russian

headlines in newspapers.

No.

Don't drink the tea.

She doesn't want to see you

right now.

How is she?

They're going to keep her in another

couple of weeks.

She'll be OK.

Come on.

This meeting.

You trust your friend with it?

I have no choice.

Where do they want to meet?

Istanbul.

Outside.

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you too.

We have come far.

How have you been?

Things have settled down a little.

I'm glad.

I heard about your fiancee.

I'm sorry.

She will recover fully?

I hope so.

Alex, I want you to know, I'm going

to agree to everything they ask.

I don't care about the money.

I will give them everything they

want as long as they leave you and

your family in peace.

It will be all right. I promise.

There is pressure on all of us to

reach an understanding.

I think we agree things have gone

too far.

Mr Kleiman, I suggest we begin with

the discussion points here.

Mumbai first.

Through the front companies listed

here,

you have been financing the Mehta

Shipping Company

and its subsidiary

office at the port?

Arkhangelsky Export Ltd, owned by

Vadim Kalyagin,

also has interest in the port.

We propose you put your partners

in Mumbai at his disposal,

should he need them.

In addition...

..a container shipment, Srikkanth

Steel, was lost in transit.

It is our hope that you or your

partners will provide

compensation for this.

The next point is with various

companies in the Czech Republic.

Forgive me.

Traffic was very bad.

Before we proceed...

I have some conditions of my

own...

which require no signature...

only your word.

I accept full responsibility

for my actions

against Mr Kalyagin's

business interests.

My young friend here acted simply

as an accountant.

The threats against him and his

family are unwarranted.

And I hope they cease.

Perhaps Mr Kalyagin and Mr Godman

should discuss this matter alone.

It wasn't my decision to meet.

I know.

Everyone tells me I have nothing to

fear from you.

But I'm not so sure.

You overestimate me.

I underestimated you the first time.

And look where we are now.

Even, I hope.

If we were even, you would be in the

hospital bed

instead of your fiancee.

And your uncle still would be alive.

I am willing to put that aside if it

keeps my family safe.

You have told me that once before.

Why should I believe you now?

Because I've learnt the cost.

That I believe.

You know,

I always told my daughter my wife

died of cancer.

But the truth is she was killed

for a mistake I made.

I haven't spent a completely happy

day since.

If you choose this life...

you have to be ready to give up

everything.

I'm not.

That's why I'm here.

Then...

that makes us even.

Joseph.

Sir.

It's good to see you.

You too.

How are you finding London?

Well, we all miss you in Israel.

Any messages you'd like to

pass along?

No, sir.

Take good care of my young friend.

It's good we made peace.

Don't worry about Lyudmilla.

I said I'd take care of it.

So they agreed?

I hope so.

You wish to speak to me?

I wanted to make my position clear.

You made your position clear

this morning

when you signed the papers I asked.

And I give you my word I will keep

to our arrangement.

If you have any trouble, it won't

come from me.

Please, Mr Kleiman, I'm a simple

man.

If something happens...

I don't want it laid at my door.

You should be aware...

..that I am not the only patron

Mr Godman has.

They told me at the flower store

these don't need much water.

The nurses will love you.

How long are you here for?

I leave tomorrow

for the south of France.

That view.

You should come and stay when

you're better.

You've seen Alex?

Have you?

No.

I wanted to wish you a safe journey,

Mr Godman.

Thank you.

You fly straight back

to London?

Yes.

Not so far.

Maybe we'll see each other in Moscow

next time.

Your father too.

I hope that can be arranged.

I'm not so popular with our

authorities right now,

but I'll do my best.

Tell your father that his friend

Veniamin will be happy to see him.

I bought three boxes for myself...

..and one for you.

A token gift.

Thank you.

Haci Bekir. It's supposed to be the

best Turkish Delight in the world.

I'm sorry for what happened

between us.

Water under the bridge.

And maybe your Mexican friends can

make me some money from those ships.

I'll see you soon, my friend.

I'm sorry too.

Mum.

To Rebecca.

Rebecca.

To Rebecca.

Who was your friend Veniamin,

Papa?

Uncle Boris mentioned him.

The name just stuck in my head.

What happened to him?

What did he do wrong?

Veniamin will be happy to see you.

Yes?

I need to see you.

I have some important visitors

right now.

I don't know if I can get away.

I wouldn't ask if it wasn't urgent.

I'm not paranoid. It was a threat.

It was Vadim telling me it isn't

over.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Like I said, we are ready to offer

you any protection we have.

I don't want protection.

I had protection and they still got

to Rebecca.

I want to meet your partners.

I have a proposition for them.

My partners are grateful to you for

facilitating the lease of

Mr Kleiman's ships, but they already

have what they want from you.

They need ports as well as ships.

Spain is no longer a safe point of

entry for you.

Nor is France. Nor is Holland.

You need another gateway into Europe

for your product.

Right now you don't have access to

Russia because of Vadim.

But he has enemies in Moscow who

have different ideas.

How do you know this?

Through a contact of my father's,

at the embassy here.

You're not a drug dealer, Alex.

Not a dealer. A broker.

And I'm not doing this for profit -

I am doing this to survive.

If you give me the authority to

represent you,

I can try and open a back channel in

which you can negotiate.

Has your contact agreed to this?

For the right amount of money,

I'm sure he will.

I'll talk to my partners.

But they are going to ask

me why you?

Because I'm Russian and they're

not.

And because they have nothing

to lose.

That's a Shishkin.

His painting Edge Of The Pine Forest

sold for £1 million at Sotheby's.

I'm not interested in the cost,

darling.

Is it OK if we look?

Of course, madam.

Silly girl.

They think I'm an idiot because of

my accent.

You have a boyfriend, Jenny?

Yes, ma'am.

You know how many men in

this city I could have had

affairs with?

Lots, I'm sure.

I'm an idiot.

I fall in love with the same man...

all my life.

Masha!

Could I ask you to keep the noise

down?

My baby's asleep.

I'm sorry.

I'm...a friend of Masha.

Masha's moved out.

Good evening, sir.

It's good to see you.

Come.

Senores, Alex Godman.

Guillermo Alegre, Victor

Hernandez, Rafael Portillo.

Forgive us, Mr Godman.

Victor and I have a dinner

appointment.

Hope to see you again another time.

I hope so.

Gracias.

Antonio speaks very highly of you,

Alex.

We are grateful for your help with

Mr Kleiman's fleet.

Can I get you a drink?

Just some water, please.

Are you Russian or half Russian?

My parents are both Russian,

but I was raised here.

I hope I don't offend you,

but my dealings with your fellow

countrymen haven't always

been successful.

Unfortunately, that is often

the case.

We tried to do some business in St

Petersburg, but your friend Vadim

went with one of our competitors.

People think of us as a single

cartel, but we are not a monolith.

It's the same in Russia.

There are many rival factions.

Which is what I wanted to talk to

you about today.

Right now, there's more competition

than ever,

not just among the syndicates but

within the government agencies that

protect them.

Yeah,

that's why it's so hard to do

business in your country.

You don't know who's in charge,

who has authority,

who's trying to cheat you.

That's where I hope I can be useful.

I'm Russian, I have a legitimate

financial base here in London,

and a background in the kind of

business we're talking about.

I know your father has a background

in our business

but from what Antonio

tells me he's been retired for...

15 years.

..15 years.

And your own experience is in

finance.

I'm not asking for a partnership or

a percentage, sir.

All I'm proposing to do is speak to

a high-level contact on your behalf.

It costs me nothing for you to

speak to someone.

So I have your confidence?

My confidence means very little.

I've sat with you for a few minutes

and I like you.

Someone picks up the phone and asks,

"Does this young man speak for you?"

I say, "Sure."

The problems start if I lose

my money.

In banking, when you introduce

someone to someone else and the deal

goes wrong, people are upset.

But no-one gets hurt.

In my business, it's different.

I understand.

There's something else that you

need to understand.

It doesn't matter how smart you are.

When reason comes up against

force...

force always wins.

I'm not here because I can afford

an Armani suit,

I'm here because I can afford him,

him and him.

You have my blessing.

But, unless you're...serious,

my blessing won't protect you.

I have a small gift for you.

Thank you for your help.

Go get Lyudmilla out.

I'll manage on my own for a while.

What will you do?

How do you know what I feel?

I know you do.

Then...

why do you do this to me?

You and your sister.

It wasn't Katya's fault.

She was your friend.

She was your first woman.

And you sent her away, like...

You're the one who turned her

into a whore.

Katya!

We were protecting Mama.

Your mother knew!

She didn't know she was pregnant.

Oh, it's possible.

There's still life in the old dog.

What would you have done?

We told her to leave our family

alone...

and take her bloody baby with her.

I'll say what I like!

I'll say what I like!

Don't touch him!

Don't you dare!

It's my house!

I can do anything that I want!

Then tell your wife!

If you're such a big man,

tell your wife to her face what

you've done to our family!

Papa, no. Papa...

Don't touch me!

What's he done?

Roxana...

You OK?

Get dressed, we have to go.

Where are we going?

Airport.

Thank you for seeing me again.

Vadim's left me no choice.

I've had to turn to other friends.

And what do these friends want from

me?

It's your insights my clients are

interested in.

They are eager to do business in

Russia,

and they'd be grateful for any

advice or introductions.

The last time we met, you indicated

that there were certain...

factions within the security

services

who were no longer happy with the

way Vadim does things.

He was right to be nervous about

you then.

I went to Istanbul in good faith.

But I have reason to believe Vadim

won't keep his side of the bargain.

Listen...

Even if I were to put you in touch

with someone,

that would take a large incentive

for them to risk going up against

Vadim.

And, of course, there'd be no

guarantee.

I just want the opportunity to make

my case.

OK.

I'll talk to my friend and,

if he's willing to meet,

would you be prepared to go to

Moscow?

Papa?

Hi, Papa.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

You are going to Moscow.

When I hear back from him.

Not for Vadim.

Do you understand?!

In Moscow, they kill you!

Do you understand?!

They will kill me here too.

I don't want Mama or Katya to get

hurt.

It's not your fault, Papa.

He hasn't told me yet.

This is the only way.

Papa, you have to trust me.

You are my son.

I love you.

But you are still young for...

It's OK.

See you outside.

Hey.

Hi.

My mother and father send their

love.

Tell them I'm sorry I couldn't

see them when they came to visit.

Thank them for the flowers.

Let me guess which is theirs.

How long are they keeping you here

for?

Hopefully, I'll be out next week.

Thank you for what you said to the

police.

When I asked you to move out...

Alex, don't.

...I wanted to keep

you safe.

Here I am.

There you go again.

You can be so convincing.

I was in trouble.

I don't want you to be in trouble.

It's so easy to forget that you grew

up in a tiny little flat in Moscow.

That you were a rough little boy

with no money and no education.

Then everything changed and then you

got rich...

and they sent you here to learn to

pretend to be civilised.

But you're not.

You've got manners and you do some

of the right things, but...

that's not who you are.

I don't expect you to forgive me.

That's not why I came.

I would have forgiven you...

sooner or later.

But because of you...

I lost my baby...

and I can't forgive you for that.

Why didn't you...

You should have told me.

Well, I have now.

Well, I... I...

No.

I'm tired.

I need to go to sleep.

ALL:

Awww!

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

Natasha, Natasha.

Natasha! Natasha!

Natasha!

Natasha!

Final call for Flight 337 to Moscow.

Please make your way to Gate

6 as the flight is about to close.
